Heiress of Northanger Abbey book giveaway

By the bestselling author of The Blue and the Joanna Stafford trilogy.

Twenty-two years after her fateful first visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine Tilney is happily married to Henry Tilney and raising their daughters, Phoebe and Susan. Life seems idyllic until a disturbing letter arrives. Now, with the prospect of Phoebe inheriting Northanger Abbey, Catherine fears fortune hunters are circling. It all feels eerily like the plot of the latest Gothic sensation, The Vampyre — but is Catherine again letting her imagination run wild or is a deadly threat closing in? First publication. Read first chapter (pdf).

The Heiress of Northanger Abbey book includes full text of Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen in Tête-Bêche format. How Tête-Bêche works: flip the book one way and you'll be reading The Heiress of Northanger Abbey; flip the other way to read Northanger Abbey.

Giveaway ends September 6, 2025 and limited to one entry per person. Good luck to all who enter!
